NAME
esdcompat - PulseAudio ESD wrapper script SYNOPSIS
esdcompat [options] esdcompat --help esdcompat --version DESCRIPTION
esdcompat is a compatiblity script that takes the same arguments as the ESD sound daemon esd(1), but uses them to start a the PulseAudio sound server with the appropriate parameters. It is required to make PulseAudio a drop-in replacement for esd, i.e. it can be used to make gnome-session(1) start up PulseAudio instead of esd. It is recommended to make esd a symbolic link to this script. OPTIONS
-h | --help Show help. --version Show version information. -tcp | -promiscuous | -d | -b | -r | -as | -unix | -public | -terminate | -nobeeps | -trust | -port | -bind These options understood by the original esd are ignored by esdcompat. -spawnpid | -spawnfd These internally used options understood by the original esd are properly handled by esdcompat, however are not to be used manually.
